2011 Fall Advanced Pitching Clinic

Lead Instructor

Michael Mook

Assistant Coach at Augustana, Sioux Falls, SD


Assisting instructors

Additional instructors will be helping out in order to keep a 4-1 player to coach ratio.

Clinic Goal: Help develope a mental picture and body awareness to throw the advanced movement pitches. Simply put; “make the ball move” Clinic format may vary depending on the needs of the participants. The general plan is to spend one day on each of the advanced movement pitches, to help them develop better spin, and in turn more movement which will help them to maximize their pitching potential.

Format:

Day one: Players will be videoed throwing all of the pitches that they are currently throwing. The remaining time will be used to work on the change up.

Prior to the next clinic date: Their mechanics will be analyzed using advanced motion analysis software. This analysis will be used to help show the players not only how they throw the pitch but also to show them different techniques that they can try to possibly get better spin on the ball which will create more movement for their pitch.

This will allow them to get closer to maximizing their pitching potential. The analysis will be followed by specific drills that each player can use to help improve the spin of that pitch.

Day two: (Rise Ball)

We will begin by looking at the advanced video analysis of their rise balls. After watching the video we will go over specific drills that each player can practice on their own to help them develop the spin that they are looking for with the rise ball.

Day three: (Drop)

We will begin by looking at the advanced video analysis of their drop balls. After watching the video we will go over specific drills that each player can practice on their own to help them develop the spin that they are looking for with the drop ball.

Day four: (Curve/Screw)

We will begin by looking at the advanced video analysis of their curve balls. After watching the video we will go over specific drills that each player can practice on their own to help them develop the spin that they are looking for with the curve ball.
